​​Our animal biolody degree offers students overseas field research opportunities including residential field trip options to South Africa to study animal behavior and conservation, and the Swiss Alps to analyse the ecology of alpine environments. Recent dissertation projects have included examining turtles in Mexico, bats in Ghana and marine ecology in Abu Dhabi.

“Coming to the reserve
in my second year, and
hearing their struggles with
poaching I knew I had to
do something. I asked what
I could do and found the
position I have now.”

Richie now works as a Rhino Monitor, protecting the endangered species from poaching and working towards conservation goals.
